Counting the Cash

The document examines the critical role of financial support for developing countries in the post-2012 climate regime, focusing on the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of these funds. It specifically addresses two core challenges: defining which types of financial contributions from developed countries qualify as climate finance and establishing a framework to track these contributions to ensure the success of international negotiations.

• The success of international negotiations for a post-2012 climate regime depends on agreements regarding the provision and tracking of financial support to developing countries for greenhouse gas emission reduction, climate adaptation, and international reporting capacity.
• There are two primary questions regarding the demonstration of financial support: the definition of what counts as climate finance from developed countries and the creation of a framework to track those contributions.
